**AWS CLI**  
**To create an OU in a root or parent OU**  
The following example shows how to create an OU that is named AccountingOU:

```
The output includes an organizationalUnit object with details about the new OU:  

```
{
        "OrganizationalUnit": {
                "Id": "ou-examplerootid111-exampleouid111",
                "Arn": "arn:aws:organizations::111111111111:ou/o-exampleorgid/ou-examplerootid111-exampleouid111",
                "Name": "AccountingOU"
        }
}
